Chapter 1812: Nine Immortals Mountain

Thus, these two set off in a muddled way.

However, the two were also alert, preferring to take longer routes to avoid remote and dangerous places, so they didn't encounter any major danger along the way.

Until they met Han Li near a small city, they offended a local small cultivation family and caused trouble, being hunted down by several existences of the same rank.

If it hadn't been for meeting Han Li, the two would have truly been in big trouble.

Now, in the eyes of Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi, this "Brother Han" they met on the way was truly somewhat mysterious.

Not only was his cultivation base only one step away from the Core Formation stage, but he also possessed some truly mysterious magic tools and treasures.

And his insights on cultivation, even a few casual pointers, benefited the two of them greatly, which was something they couldn't catch up with even if they whipped their horses.

Young Master Hai was stunned for a long time when he first received Han Li's guidance on body-refining techniques.

After all, it was very rare for a cultivator to also have a deep understanding of body-refining techniques.

Because of this, Han Li also seemed increasingly unfathomable in the eyes of the two.

Fortunately, Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi were both the kind of carefree, self-familiar characters. So even though they knew Han Li was not an ordinary cultivator, they still didn't care at all, calling him "Brother Han" one after another, with exceptional enthusiasm.

It was estimated that if it weren't for the fact that Han Li's cultivation base was truly not high, the two would have immediately put on a thick-skinned face and performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

After all, although this young Daoist priest Qi Lingzi kept talking about carrying forward the Fog Sea Temple, in his carefree conversation, he had long revealed his intention to find another master at the Myriad Treasure Convention.

He had no nostalgia for the title of "Temple Master" of the current Fog Sea Temple.

But the more this was the case, the more this Qi Lingzi tried to persuade Han Li and Young Master Hai to join the Fog Sea Temple on the way, with a joking look of wanting to enjoy the addiction of being a "Temple Master" before finding another master.

This naturally led to Young Master Hai's repeated laughter and scolding, and Han Li could only smile bitterly.

Just like this, Han Li brought the two and flew for a month, arriving at this mountain near the Xuanwu Territory, intending to rest for a while before continuing the journey.

Just now, Qi Lingzi boasted about the Fog Sea Temple endlessly again, and then said the same words he had said countless times to persuade the two to join, which made Young Master Hai refuse repeatedly without hesitation.

And Han Li, who seemed to be smiling, had a trace of blue light flashing in the depths of his eyes, staring at Young Master Hai opposite him without letting go.

Suddenly, a trace of strange crimson appeared on Young Master Hai's face, but it disappeared within a single breath.

"It appeared!"

Han Li called out secretly, releasing a strand of spiritual sense and sweeping it rapidly through Young Master Hai's body.

"Haha, it's not that I'm bragging. With my wind-attribute spiritual roots, it's easy to worship under any Spirit Severing or Void Refinement stage cultivator. When this Young Master's immortal arts are complete, I will definitely..." Young Master Hai was talking excitedly, talking about the beautiful life after his cultivation technique was complete.

And he naturally didn't know that the wind spiritual roots he was so proud of had disappeared strangely.

At this moment, any cultivator checking his spiritual roots would only say that he was an ordinary body-refiner with no spiritual roots.

Han Li's eyes twitched a few times, and he was shocked in his heart.

Sure enough, just like last time, the other party's wind spiritual roots had disappeared again.

If he wasn't wrong, after one day and one night, this Young Master Hai's spiritual roots would appear again.

The same scene had already been staged under his eyes ten days ago.

It was truly too strange! He had never heard of any kind of spiritual root that would disappear in a short period of time.

If this were the case, wouldn't it mean that during the period when the spiritual roots disappeared, even if one possessed great magic power, one would be unable to drive magic techniques or mobilize the spiritual power in one's body.

A trace of strange color appeared on Han Li's face, and he muttered in his heart.

"Brother Han, why are you in a daze? Your complexion seems a bit bad. Why not taste the spiritual tea of our Fog Sea Temple again! And take out a few more of those spiritual fruits, Brother Han. After eating them once, the taste is truly unforgettable," Qi Lingzi seemed sensitive, discovering the strangeness on Han Li's face, and after a turn of his eyes, he chuckled and said.

"Qi Lingzi is right, the spiritual fruits Brother Han took out last time were truly excellent!" Young Master Hai, hearing Qi Lingzi's words, also felt his spirits lift and stopped his high-pitched talk, also looking at Han Li with eager eyes.

"I knew you two were still thinking about the spiritual fruits I took out last time. It's not that I am stingy, but these 'Pearl Fruits', although delicious and unique in taste, contain pure spiritual power that is not trivial. Eating too many at once can damage your meridians. How about this, I will take out six more, and each of you can eat two more," this pair actually had designs on his spiritual fruits in the blink of an eye, which made Han Li's facial muscles twitch, and he could only cough dryly and say.

Then, with a shake of his sleeve, a jade-white plate appeared on the stone table, with six emerald green fruits the size of eggs but as round as pearls.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, eating two is also good. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but after eating three of Brother Han's fruits last time, my cultivation base, which had been stagnant, has actually increased a bit in the past few days. If this is the case, Brother Han, tell me where these Pearl Fruits are sold, and I will go buy more. In the future, there is no need to eat any pills or meditate; just eat two spiritual fruits every three to five days, and my cultivation base will soar," Qi Lingzi looked at the spiritual fruits on the plate, overjoyed, and said.

But before he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed, and the spiritual fruits on the plate were missing two.

Qi Lingzi was stunned, and after looking closely, it turned out that Young Master Hai had moved both hands, grabbing one spiritual fruit in each hand and gnawing on them.

"What a waste of heaven's gifts!" Qi Lingzi saw this situation and shook his head repeatedly.

And Young Master Hai rolled his eyes, ignoring the little Daoist priest's pain, only feeling his mouth full of saliva, shouting that it was satisfying.

Han Li was speechless, but smiled slightly in his heart.

I don't know if the two would still be able to eat so happily if they knew that each of these spiritual fruits was worth thousands of spirit stones.

However, this Qi Lingzi was also very unusual.

Han Li shifted his gaze and looked at the little Daoist priest with narrowed eyes.

This little Daoist priest's spiritual roots were indeed ordinary three-spiritual-root attributes. But after careful observation over these days, he discovered a hidden bead the size of a silkworm bean, wrapped in a layer of spiritual light, in the other party's dantian.

This was also because Han Li's spiritual sense cultivation was far beyond the other party's; otherwise, even existences seven or eight ranks higher than Qi Lingzi would not be able to discover this object in the other party's body.

When Han Li was curious, he secretly contacted this round bead with his spiritual sense and penetrated it without anyone knowing, only to discover a vast sealing power.

"Inheritance magic tool!"

When Han Li discovered this object, he immediately understood what it was.

Some immortal cultivators, in order to prevent the inheritance from being broken unexpectedly, would seal all their learning into a certain inheritance magic tool using special secret arts, and then implant it into the body of a descendant or disciple.

And this object generally had certain conditions for opening. If they didn't match, it would always be hidden in the body of the inherited person and not appear.

Generally speaking, once the cultivation base reaches a certain level, one can automatically obtain various secret arts and cultivation techniques in the inheritance magic tool.

Of course, if the inherited person is approaching their limit, they can also use special secret arts to take out this object and put it into the body of another disciple. If an outsider wants to take out the magic tool by force, they will generally explode and die along with the inherited person.

This method of refining inheritance magic tools has always been rarely known, and refining is difficult, which is a very rare inheritance secret art.

Now that it appeared on Qi Lingzi, Han Li was also somewhat surprised.

It seems that this so-called "Fog Sea Temple" founding ancestor truly had some reputation and was not an ordinary ascended cultivator.

However, with the several great divine abilities Han Li possessed, he naturally wouldn't be interested in other people's cultivation techniques. After a bit of surprise, he focused his attention on Young Master Hai, the handsome man.

Spiritual roots that can disappear, what kind of strange spiritual roots are these!

This truly aroused his rare curiosity.

After Qi Lingzi took out a tea set, brewed a few cups of fragrant spiritual tea for Han Li and the others to taste, and ate the remaining spiritual fruits, the three of them did not stay here for long.

Han Li released the flying car again, brought the two, and turned into a group of white light, flying toward the Xuanwu Territory.

The Xuanwu Territory was quite different from the Tianyuan Territory!

Although the number of immortal cultivators in the territory was inferior to the Tianyuan Territory and the Tianling Territory, the number of mortal body-refiners was far from being comparable to the other two territories.

The folk customs were also exceptionally fierce, and even the old, weak, women, and children dared to hold weapons and fight directly with beasts in the wild.

However, there were very few large mortal cities in the Xuanwu Territory, most of which existed in the form of small cities and mountain strongholds in the vast territory.

And because it was the region among the three territories that was in direct contact with the Seven Demon Lands, the scale of beast tides and the probability of low-level demon beasts appearing were far from being comparable to the other two territories.

From time to time, high-level transformed demon beasts would quietly sneak into the Xuanwu Territory to do some improper things.

Therefore, the Xuanwu Territory was also the most chaotic region among the three territories, and the closer it was to the demon race territory bordering the Xuanwu Territory, the more chaotic it became.

Nine Immortals Mountain, this giant spiritual mountain located directly at the border between the Demon Fox Land and the Xuanwu Territory, was an exception.

This mountain was divided into nine peaks, not only possessing rare top-grade spiritual veins but also producing some special spiritual medicines that were very useful to both the human and demon races.

In addition, Nine Immortals Mountain had dangerous terrain and was located in a special region, so this mountain was controlled by elite figures from both the human and demon races.

Even the most daring people of the human and demon races would not dare to easily cause trouble near this mountain.

And in recent years, Nine Immortals Mountain had become increasingly strict. The human and demon races had sent a large number of people to sweep and expel some small and medium-sized forces with bad reputations nearby.

In just five or six years, this mountain had become a paradise in the Xuanwu Territory.

Just at this time, the Myriad Treasure Convention, held once every thousand years by the human and demon races, was about to be held on this mountain.
